Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Cathy Pinchbeck.
I love our colour palette for this challenge. You had me at Pretty Peacock! I grabbed the Decorative Trees bundle and merrily starting die cutting trees. After 2 hours of faffing about I had trees strewn everywhere, a half in ponytail and I may or may not have said several naughty words! Just one of those days! After a coffee and bit of a calm down I decided to make a simple easel card.
It's the perfect card fold as it packs flat for regular posting but stands up for display.
This is a pretty simple design but I quite like the elegance of the gold on each tree. I kept the layers to a minimum so that it still passes as a regular card for postage.
To form the easel part you just need to score in 2.5 cm (1") in from the front edge and add a raised section as a stopper. I have raised my paper strip with form adhesive.
